Andrew M. Cuomo wrote an opinion column for Cointelegraph, published on October 6, 2026. His main claim is that US crypto rules could be exposed to political change once the midterm elections are over. He wants Congress to pass crypto legislation that has support from both parties and is built to last.
Cuomo says the digital asset industry is already changing the financial system. In his view, nobody is still asking whether crypto will keep growing. What he says is still open is whether the United States will write clear, lasting rules so that this growth happens inside the country.
The piece is an opinion column by an outside contributor, not a news report. Bryan O Shea, a staff editor, edited it. The column does not name a specific bill, a vote date, or a rule that is about to be reversed. It also does not say which current rules are most at risk.
For someone already holding a perpetual position on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX, this column changes nothing directly. No law has passed and no rule has changed. Nothing in the piece touches funding rates, trading fees or liquidity on these exchanges. It is one person's argument about US policy after the midterms, and nobody knows yet whether Congress will act on it.
